The initial or discovery meeting is without cost or obligation and is to enable you to decide if you wish to appoint Fiducia to act on your behalf. Following that meeting we will write and set out what we understand are your key concerns and their prioritisations. At that time we will also indicate our fees to report and advise on that agenda. If you give your agreement we will collate and analyse all the relevant detail in order to produce a report and recommendation for you to consider.
